Dehydrocholic Acid

CAS NO.: 81-23-2
Molecular Formula: C24H34O5
Molecular Weight: 402.531
Appearance: White Powder

Effects
Promote the secretion of bile (liquid component), eliminate bile blockage, help fat digestion and absorption, and have the effect of expelling stones.

Pharmacological Action
1. Dehydrocholic acid is a synthetic derivative of bile acid, which can produce physiological stimulation to liver cells, increase liver blood flow, vigorous metabolism of bile cells, and significantly increase the moisture in bile. Therefore, bile secretion increases, but not. Increase the solid components in bile, thereby diluting bile and flushing the biliary tract.
2. Promote the excretion of bile pigments and diuresis.
3. When the biliary tract is inflamed, dehydrocholic acid can make it secrete a large amount of low-viscosity bile, prevent bile stasis, and prevent ascending biliary tract infection.
4. Dehydrocholic acid still has the effect of expelling stones, and the effect is better when combined with antispasmodics.

Description About Dehydrocholic Acid
Dehydrocholic acid is a synthetic bile acid that was prepared from the oxidation of cholic acid with chromic acid. It has been used for stimulation of biliary lipid secretion.
Dehydrocholic acid is manufactured from cholic acid by oxidation. The main use of dehydrocholic acid is as a digestive aid in the dietary supplement industry. It is typically formulated with enzymes like papain and pancreatin. It has a stimulating effect on the secretion of bile by the liver (choleretic); improves absorption of essential food materials in states associated with deficient bile formation.
